It took humans four hundred thousand years to discover fire and tame it.
And how long did it take from discovering magic to taming it?
The answer is... Ten thousand years.
In terms of the eternal laws of nature, ten thousand years is just a drop in the ocean, just a moment for the ancient giant beast to shed its scales.
But in just 10,000 years, creatures in nature have evolved on a large scale!
Magic power enters the body of all things!
Since then, nature has been inseparable from magic.
…
However, the sad thing is that humans have spent ten thousand years and still cannot figure out the source of magic. Human beings only know that magic is a kind of energy, but they cannot make effective conversion at all.
Humans can make fire through friction, but they cannot create magic through magic.
When the fire source called "World Tree" goes out, it will be the end of the entire world.
…
But fortunately, in this era of declining magic power, I discovered a special case that has existed for thousands of years. I can't help but sigh, the magic called life is so mysterious and unpredictable!
A creature that can generate magic power on its own has been born in the world!
At the same time, I am also very lucky that he is one of us humans!
And his name is - Ixia!
